Questions about Thames Lower
- Which outlets are linked to Thames Lower?
- The source links 55 outlet records to waterbody GB530603911401. The link comes from the annual return; it does not model where a discharge travelled.
- How many spills were recorded for Thames Lower?
- 54 records report 488 spills in 2025 and 1,253 recorded hours. 1 records have no usable count. Outlets can discharge at the same time, so the hours are not the time the whole water was affected.
- Who is responsible for the outlets on Thames Lower?
- 2 companies operate listed outlets: Anglian Water, Southern Water. Each outlet page names its operator and permit reference.
- Which outlets on Thames Lower are linked to a live feed?
- 50 of the 55 records are matched to a monitor in a company live feed. A link does not mean the monitor is working now. Use the status filters above to see the latest report for each outlet, with its date. The rest show annual figures only.
- How complete is the monitoring for Thames Lower?
- 6 of the listed records have monitor operation below 90% for 2025. Events can be missed when a monitor is not working, so low counts from those outlets may understate activity.
- Does this show if Thames Lower is safe?
- No. Event duration data does not measure bacteria, chemicals or current water quality. Use official local water-quality advice for that question.
